Date:9/29/2009

esearch efforts," Sherman said. "It requires that the public be educated and mobilized. It is my hope that this book will serve that purpose. Further, it is my hope that readers will learn some microbiology, some immunology and molecular biology, and come to better appreciate the perils and prospects for a malaria vaccine."

Sherman joined UC Riverside in 1962 and retired in 2006. During his tenure, he served as chair of the Department of Biology (1973-1978); dean of the College of Natural and Agricultural Sciences (1981-1988); acting executive vice chancellor (1993-1994); and chair of the Academic Senate (1997-2004). Currently he is a visiting scientist at the Scripps Research Institute, La Jolla, Calif.

The author or coauthor of more than 150 scholarly papers and six books, Sherman also has edited two books on malaria. His previous book, Twelve Diseases That Changed Our World (American Society for Microbiology Press, 2007), focused on a dozen diseases that greatly influenced society, politics and culture.

He received his master's and doctoral degrees from Northwestern University, Ill., where his lifelong research on the biochemistry of malaria parasites began.
